Setting Up Classroom Collaboration Using Webex in Your LMS Course

Overview

If Classroom Collaboration is enabled in your Webex LTI 1.3 integration in LMS, it will automatically create a Webex Team which can be accessed by all course members either via the web client at https://web.webex.com or via the Webex desktop or mobile client.

Procedure

1. Authenticate to Blackboard at https;//lms.rpi.edu.
2. Navigate to Courses then select the course you wish to edit.
3. Under Course Content, click the header for Webex that was previously added.
   
   1. Please see Adding Webex Integration to Your LMS Course if it has not already been added.
4. On the screen displayed, select Setup.
   1. If you are prompted to authenticate to Webex, do so.
5. On the screen displayed, scroll down to Classroom Collaboration.
   
6. By default, when enabled, classroom collaboration will automatically synchronize the class roster with Webex, to ensure that added and dropped students are appropriately added to and removed from the created team space. Synchronization is set to happen either Daily or Weekly, or can be forced to happen immediately by clicking the Sync class roster now button.
7. To launch the Webex team space in the web client, click Classroom Collaboration.
   
8. In the Webex client, the team will appear as the General space and the course name.
